Will Amoxicillin Cure Swelling And Pain In Lower Abdomen?
I have stomach pains. A dull swelling feeling in my lower abdomen. Its been going on for 3 weeks now. my doctor prescribed amoxicillin. I am worried that he might have underestimated my problem as he didn't even take any scans, or even feel the affected area. Will amoxicillin be ok, and should schedule perhaps a stomach scan soon ? I might be over exaggerating, but i feel it might be a kidney, pancreatic or liver issue. Could the amoxcilin worsen any of the cases if it was a problem with any of the other organs?

Hello dear,welcome to HealthcareMagic forum.
Amoxycillin will help if it was caused by a soft tissue infection.In this case,pain and swelling will begin to decline in 2-3 days.If not,we have to consider other antibiotics or other diagnosis,which will need a detailed physical examination and some investigations.
So,if you do not get it better by two days,you can discuss this with your doctor.Need not schedule for higher investigations before that.
Hope you will find my answer useful.Thank you
